Custom Controller for Elvis?

Late to the party, but just cracked open my Elvis head.

The ICESDA, ICESCK, and ICE lines on the J22 connector on the main board are for an I2C (3 wire) interface to the Analog to Digitial converter (Sonix SNAD01A) Which is an 8 channel 10-BIT ADC chip. All of the motor pots are connected to this. There is one in the head and one on the main board.

Any custom controller will need to be able to either communicate with this or replace it with something else.

I got the Elvis for christmas here in Toronto and now it seems as if the bloody things gears are sooo loud! They don't allow much of the music or dialogue to be heard over them and probably have woken Elvis up and half of Mississippi also. Any ideas what i can do? Love the thing but don't want to just junk it. Any thoughts?

Also, are there any tricks, mods, etc. for it?

thanks all!

Hey everyone, I need as many new skin ideas for the project I'm doing with Elvis. So if you have some really good ones please let me know, I have already a terminator with half of the face eaten off and a droid look. I am rebuilding the Elvis from almost the ground up so any help would be helpful. Thanks in advance.
